the initial one of not choosing a sane default archive type, and not checking whether certain archive types are suited for the group of files selected for compression (IIRC, it tried to make .bz2 archives without tarring up first if more files were selected) and another it cannot do anything with open archives like launch a file from it, which is counterintuitive if they are listed there as in a file manager. So what happened is user opened an archiver from the web using xarchiver, it's content appeared in the view but individual files could not be accessed, they needed to be extracted first somewhere and then used there. this was in feisty.
